Avergonzado (ashamed) and enfermo (sick) are adjectives of temporary condition. These require the use of a form of estar.
Dolor (ache) and miedo ( fear) are nouns.
This link is to a video in the forum about the verb estar and the uses of it.

you could say "él tiene verguenza" but as cherry says, with fear or to be afraid you have to use tener,
